I have a quick question for anyone that owns or has used Rocktron's Tsunami chorus pedal. The pedal has two switches, one that turns the unit on/off (bypasses the unit) and the other that selects between chorus and ambience delay. It also has two LEDs, one to show if the unit is on and one to...

I have a set of 59's but the lack of mids and boomy bass really don't agree with me. I guess I could add A2's to them but I'm afraid they would be too similar to my Seths. I would like to add just a little more mids and drop the bass ever so slightly, would an A4 help do this? If not, what...

I'm ready to order a neck from USACG for my Tele Project. I have a Fender Highway 1 blonde body that I put a couple light coates of nitro clear on and sanded and polished. It looks great and will be getting a black guard. I'll be using a Callaham bridge with the brass saddles and Antiquity...

Question. Is there a trick to finshing an all maple neck (IE-maple fretboard) Do you spray the nitro right over the frets? I finished my own USACG strat neck with tinted lacquer but that had a a rosewwod board so I taped off the board and just sprayed the back. For an all maple neck what do...

I just visited the Dave Meniketti/Y&T website and noticed that Dave had a custom made Les Paul style guitar built for him. When it was done he went with a Custom 5 in the bridge and a Jazz in the neck. It's nice to see that Dave went with the Duncans especially since he is probably like us and...

I was able to nab a Cool Rails off of eBay at a good price so it should be here any day. I am building a super-strat type guitar with a Fender Highway 1 body and a short scale USACG neck (maple board). I am going to use a JB in the bridge and will be putting the cool rails in the neck. If...

I've noticed when I crank my Peavey Classic 30 that there seems to be a lot of vibration coming from the chasis. I really notice it when I kick on my SD pickup booster and play lower notes. I took care of the tube rattle with that tube tamer kit on eBay and have been real happy but I can't...

I am normally an Alnico II humbucker man and just love the Seth's but my 93 LP Studio is just a naturally dark sounding guitar and the neck slot seems to kill the sound of a lot of good pickups. I have tried just about all of the PAFish buckers in it but it really turns them to mush. Even when...

I said I would post some pics of my new Jr when I got around to it so here she is with the Duncan Antiquity installed. I still can't put it down. Just great tone and so easy to play http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-12/908961/000_0026.jpg...

I know you can custom order guitars through Heritage and request certain neck profiles, but what is the "standard" neck profile for the 150. Is it a rounded 59 type neck or the slimmer 60's style?

I had big-time GAS for a P-90 guitar but I didn't want to shell out big bucks for a Custom Shop model and don't really like the double cut specials. Although I don't normally buy guitars from MF I went ahead and got one of those Les Paul Juniors with the single dog ear P-90 pickup. It came...

The mic I have been using to record for years just crapped out on me and I don't see any markings on it anywhere to help me figure out who made it. Plus it was about time for something new. Can anyone suggest a good inexpensive mic for recording? I just record onto an old Yamaha 4 track, so I...

My set came today! I wasn't sure with everything going on if I wanted to keep them but I was going crazy so I decided to install the neck pup (I don't know if this means I can't return them now if I decide to but with everything that has happened so far who knows). I installed the neck in my...

I was listening to some of my old Gary Moore albums last night and noticed in the liner notes on his "After the War" CD that he gives special thanks to Seymour Duncan. I don't remember ever hearing or reading that Gary used Duncans until I read that. Does anybody know what pup he used? Maybe...

I'm still real happy with my new Martin D-15 Limited but one thing I noticed is that the strap button that attaches to the bottom of the guitar was in a small bag in the case pocket. In other words, you have to install it yourself? There is a pre-drilled hole but I'm pretty paranoid about...
